Last summer I had the amazing opportunity to participate as a judge on an Iron Chef America battle in the infamous Kitchen Stadium. I definitely checked something off my bucket list that day. I wish I could put into words how incredible the food and the overall experience was. It's the type of experience I'll tell my kids about one day.If you're interested in tuning in, the episode airs this Sunday evening, April 4th. Check here for more air dates. I'm actually terrified to see myself...my hair desperately needed to be colored, the dress was purchased literally 2 hours before I left, and I think I overused the word "exquisite." Fingers crossed that I contributed a few intelligent comments and that I didn't smack my lips on camera. (yes, the food was that good)

Kelsey, When I watched you on The Next Food Network Star, I was impressed by you at the time. I thought you seemed very ADHD, but I loved you anyway. Watching you on Iron Chef, you seemed so calm and composed! I was truely impressed at how "exquisitely" you were able to express yourself. You were great!

My mom and I were fans of yours on the Next Food Network Star. We were happy to see you as a judge on Iron Chef. We were curious how you would handle the cocktail, but it looked like you did drink some.
